During the second schedule, it was alleged that he out-rightly refused to undergo makeup sessions, refused to turn up to shoot on time, demanded a hotel room on the [[East Coast Road]], refused to provide hotel expenses, and demanded that a production executive was sacked. Silambarasan also cancelled the third schedule and demanded that the film be released in two parts against the makers' wishes, while sending his team to [[Thailand]] to have leisure time on the producers' money.<ref name="aaaflop" /> He later refused to coordinate when completing necessary scenes to make it a two-part film and also half-heartedly provided dubbing work. The producer revealed that out of an agreed schedule of seventy-six days, Silambarasan only worked on thirty-eight days, meaning that the dates of Tamannaah and Shriya Saran were widely wasted.<ref name="aaaflop" /> As a result of the incident, Silambarasan was widely criticised by his peers in the Tamil film industry.<ref>[http://www.thenewsminute.com/article/producers-council-serves-red-notice-actor-silambarasan-72077 Producers' Council serves 'Red Notice’ to actor Silambarasan].
